Fenton patients are seen in Howell

Fenton families and Lake Fenton seasonal residents get expert foot care without driving to Flint

Fenton families are seen at our Howell office at 4330 E Grand River Ave for diagnostic imaging, conservative-first treatment plans, and surgery only when truly indicated. Travel depends on your starting point, route and traffic.

Appointment availability

Check the online calendar or call (810) 206-1402 during office hours to ask about available appointments. Choose New Patient or Existing Patient and a date in the scheduler. Check available times online.

On-site digital imaging

Digital X-ray and ultrasound in the office. Most Fenton patients leave their first visit with diagnosis, imaging, and a treatment plan — no second appointment to start care.

Conservative care first

We exhaust non-surgical options — orthotics, EPAT, MLS laser, injections — before discussing surgery. 3,000+ surgeries performed when truly needed.

Foot & ankle conditions we treat for Fenton patients

  • Plantar fasciitis & heel pain — common in Fenton runners (Tyrone-Fenton trail system) and lake-area residents on their feet all summer.
  • Bunion correction — conservative care and surgical options — outpatient with same-day discharge.
  • Diabetic foot care — annual exams, ulcer prevention, neuropathy. Coordinated with your Fenton-area PCP or endocrinologist.
  • Sports injuries — ankle sprains, Achilles tendonitis, stress fractures — prompt diagnostic imaging.
  • Ingrown toenails — 15-minute office procedure under local anesthetic.
  • Toenail fungus — laser, oral, and topical options — honest about success rates per option.
  • Thick, painful nails that are hard to trim — a podiatrist-performed medical pedicure handles nail and callus care safely when diabetes, thickness, or fungus makes a salon pedicure a bad idea.
  • Homebound or unable to drive to us — we bring the same care to you with in-home podiatry visits for Fenton-area seniors.

Don’t see your problem? Call (810) 206-1402 — we treat the full range of foot and ankle problems. You can also pick an appointment time online and describe what is going on when you arrive.
